Quantitative electroencephalographic effects of caffeine in panic disorder. Abstract Text:

It has been demonstrated that patients with panic disorder are more sensitive than normal control subjects to the anxiogenic effects of caffeine. The underlying physiologic basis for this difference is unclear. We examined the electroencephalographic (EEG) activity of seven patients with panic disorder and seven normal control subjects during the randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled administration of oral caffeine (7 mg/kg). EEG data were collected on-line from 28 electrodes; artifact-free epochs were selected manually for off-line Fourier transformation. Caffeine was associated with a significant increase in peak occipital alpha frequency and significant decreases in occipital alpha amplitude, central beta amplitude, and central theta amplitude. Despite the observation that caffeine increased anxiety more in the patients with panic disorder than in the normal control subjects, the two groups did not differ in their EEG responses to caffeine.
